Mother Wild - Mothers Day Special

Today I present a very special Mother's Day episode to mark the day in the US and Australia and many other countries around the world.I am joined by 4 creative mothers, Angeli Gunn, Tasha Miller, Karryn Miller and Carmela Fleury representing Mother Wild - a global collective of women who believe deeply in helping mothers mother themselves.Along with their 2 other co-founders Anna af Jochnick and Karin Hesselvik the girls facilitate festivals, workshops, monthly activities and retreats (both virtually and in real life).2 years ago the idea for their first book Mother Wild: A Book Of Mothers’ Dreams was born. Each one contributed their own unique set of skills and words to bring the book to life, together with 9 artists from 13 different countries, while collectively caring for 32 children during a global pandemic.The result is an inspirational book that has more than one purpose. While the book was designed as a simple bedtime story for children, the true intention is to re-awaken the wild, adventurous spirit in mothers - and not just through the words on each page.In the first year, all profits from the book will go towards supporting mothers in the best way they know how - by mothering them..This episode contains discussions around post natal anxietyMother Wild website / book / instagramPodcast website / instagram /The Lost Daughter movieMercy on the MotherQuotes during this episode are taken from the book, thank you to Danni Reade for narrating.
